Could the text transformation feature be used to auto-capitalize the first word in a sentence?

I think not, because it does not accept callbacks yet. But if it would, I think we could use it like this.

Regarding the callback – I see it either like this:

{
    from: /(^|\. )(\w)$/g,
    to: '$0$1',
    transform: ( match ) => {
       match[ 1 ] = match[ 1 ].toUpperCase();
    }
}

So the transform() function could only affect the matches object. This reduces its scope and perhaps might make it easier to implement.

But ideally, you should be able to pass a function as to:

{
    from: /(^|\. )(\w)$/g,
    to: ( match ) => {
       return match[ 0 ] + match[ 1 ].toUpperCase();
    }
}

But I wonder if this doesn't create some weird cases that we'd need to handle. Although, I can't think of any at the moment, so perhaps this is the best option.
